    @Steve-Miller My Hydrangeas did not do well until I moved them to a morning sun only location. They now face east and from appearances, like it.

    @Bernard my hydrangeas also face east and have quadrupled in size since we moved in eight years ago.

      Color pallette at local National Wildlife Refuge: native Joe Pye weed, purple loosestrife (pretty, but highly invasive), native goldenrod, non-native Queen Anne's lace, cattails.

          The garden has suffered a bit the past few weeks as rain has been scarce. We had a bit of rain last evening, but we need a lot more.

          Nevertheless, flowers keep coming. The latest are these white lilies that have never blossomed before. The foliage is looking pretty ratty as they get attacked by those vicious red beetles.

          The Phlox has also started to blossom. This one is my favorite for the color and scent.

          A few Turks Caps. They also get attacked by the beetles.

          These geraniums are in their second year; I brought them indoors last fall and kept them going all winter. Sadly, they are getting hit with rust.

          This thistle popped up this year (likey came from the bird seed). I love it it reminds me of my childhood. I saw a goldfinch approaching it last week.

            Nice! Dry here too. Not a great year for the garden

            Did some heavy pruning of the lavender and native red twig dogwood, and they look much better.

                I had planted some morning glory seeds in a pot last year. This spring I dumped the dirt from the pot into an elevated bed next to the fence and planted romaine lettuce in it. A couple of "weeds" sprouted up around the lettuce. I pulled one plant out and then thought "hmmm, this leaf looks familiar" and left the rest.

                I like the look so much I think I may just plant vining flowers (morning glories , moonflowers, and maybe nasturtiums) in the elevated bed next year. The vines look lovely on the fence!

                  @wtg So pretty. I've had them self-seed a number of times.

                  Those are my favorite Morning Glories, but I don't have any this year. Will need to rectify that next year!

                    Pretty. My sister's morning glories in Oregon got out of control and were impossible to eradicate. Probably depends on your climate.

                              Just saw this while hiking in the Mt. Charleston area of Nevada, at around 7,500 feet.

                              The Mojave Prickly Poppy.
